Book Review: Unwrapping his package Cameron Hart

Unwrapping His Package

Unwrapping His Package by Cameron Hart

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


December 15
Indie: I trust my gut, the universe, and the healing power of sugar. I’ll admit I had my doubts in all three of those things when my sister wanted to move all the way here to Christmas, Michigan in the dead of winter. I’ve been scrambling to be the supportive sister after her messy divorce, but I’m exhausted. Just when I think I’m at my breaking point, I sense something. The universe is telling me it’ll all work out. I know my gut instinct is right when I see him. I instantly want to know everything about the tall, broad shouldered, blue-eyed man staring at me. I want to unwrap him layer by layer. All of him. Every single inch.

Walker: As a doctor, I trust my mind, science, and empirical evidence. Until I see her. The short, curvy minx stares right at me, her teal eyes gliding down my body. My chest tightens and I can’t catch my breath. I run through a list of symptoms and possible diagnoses, but nothing quite matches what I’m feeling. My condition only worsens the longer I look at her, yet I can’t bring myself to do anything else. Love at first sight isn’t possible, but one look at my pixie and I know she’s about to prove me wrong.

Review : I loved this one this is about walker and Indie . Indie just moved to Christmas with her sister and nephew who all have been through a lot. Indie meets walker instantly they have a connection and walker wants to take care of Indie. After a bad car crash walker finds Indie and takes her to get warm and then they hook up more than once .Walker proposes to Indie and she says yes . Five years later they have two kids so cute I loved their relationship and cute moments.
Quotes:

A painting is nice to look at. Walker Evans is holy hotness personified.

“I love you so much, Walker Evans.” “Thank fuck,” he breaths out, making me giggle

Book Review: Snow Plowed Abby Knox

Snow Plowed

Snow Plowed by Abby Knox

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


December 4

Renowned LA-based photographer Aiden had one job: spend a few weeks in a tiny Midwestern town and capture scenes of a small-town Christmas. Pretty straight-forward, until he comes across one beloved — not to mention kind, funny, sassy and beautiful — citizen who keeps dodging the camera. He’ll do everything in his power to get her attention, even if it means digging himself a hole in the snow he can’t get out of.

Snow plow driver Ruby doesn’t like having her picture taken. The sooner that flirty LA photographer gets that through his head, the better. With a big snowstorm on the way, she’s got way more urgent things on her mind than flirting or posing for silly photos. He can keep trying to get her attention and to change her mind, but unless he’s buried up to his neck in snow without a shovel, he’ll be trying for a long, long time.

This book has all the stuff of your favorite Hallmark movie — small-town Christmas with a side of fish-out-of-water and a dash of we’re-stuck-together-in-a-snowstorm — with one important difference: when these two come together it’ll knock your snow boots off!

Review: this was such a cute Christmas story I love Ruby and Aiden . Ruby is well loved in the town of Christmas and Aiden is the photographer hired to photograph Christmas and he fall for her imminently. Aiden is so sweet with Ruby and cares for her Ruby doesn’t liker her photo done cause when she was 17 boys took photos of girls and rated them. Ryby wants Aiden to take photos of her naked and then sleep with her and thats what they do. Aiden wants to move to Christmas and be with her but then something bad happens Aiden accidentally mailed Ruby nudes to LA and Aiden creepy assistant posted them on social media. He comes back to Christmas and everyone is pissed at him for Ruby but Ruby explains to the town and then they go off to have some fun. A year after they meet they get engaged loved the story .
Quotes
But better get inside now and put on snow pants. Your tender LA testicles are gonna freeze and fall off if you have to hoof it.” Before I shut my door and start the engine, I hear him shout. “What are snow pants?”

“I never cried so many happy tears until I met you, Aidan.”

Book Review: the one last stand before christmas Jana Aston

The One Night Stand Before Christmas (Reindeer Falls, #3)

The One Night Stand Before Christmas by Jana Aston

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Dec 24-27
Dear Santa,

Please stop by my house and pick up your suit. If you thought I was going to run it to the dry cleaners for you after you left it on my bedroom floor, you’ve got another think coming.

Best,
Noel Winter


Review: I loved the last of this series it was really cute .Noel’s coworker hired her brother to be Santa. An older lady at her work is trying to hook Noel with her grandson . So santa shows up and hits on Noel after they go for hot chocolate and then they hook up and she runs out of her own house oh god . Her coworker tells her she’s sorry that her brother ditched on the Santa event and Noel is confused but it turns out the guy Noel slept with and liked was the womans grandson and his name is Theodore but lets Noel call him teddy and they decide to start dating . A year later ginger is married and pregnant Holly is engaged and Noel is wondering when Teddy is going to so she asks him and he proposes it was adorable.
Quotes :
It’s also clear why Jillian sent the Santa padding along with the costume because her brother does not have the body to play Santa. Unless it was a male stripper version of Santa—

I ask Teddy if I can see his North Pole


Perhaps I could hire him to be my sex elf, then he’d have a job and I’d have a sex elf.

Book Review: If you give a jerk a gingerbread Jana Aston

If You Give A Jerk A Gingerbread (Reindeer Falls, #2)

If You Give A Jerk A Gingerbread by Jana Aston

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


December 24

Dear Santa,

I do not want Keller James for Christmas.

I will not fall for him, no matter how charming or irresistible or famous he is. I will not be swayed by his skills in the kitchen or by his British accent. I’m going to win the Great Gingerbread Bake Off and no one is going to stand in my way. Not even Keller.

All kisses are off. I mean all bets. All bets are off. And his clothes, those are off too.

Grr, never mind. I’ll figure this out myself.

XOXO,
Ginger Winter

Review: I loved this one as well even a bit more so this is about ginger winter who is Holly’s younger sister from book one she is competing in a gingerbread competition and she meets a guy named keller who she has the hots for hes British he has his own tv show on food network. Keller likes Ginger and teases her a bit calls her adorable I like them together. They are competing against each other . Ginger shows keller around her town and to this is old auto shop which is her dream place for her Bakeshop but it’s to big for just that . Keller and Ginger sleep together and Ginger confesses to her sister Noel that she’s falling for keller but Noel is distracted cause she slept with Santa . Ginger sees keller buying the auto shop and she’s pissed the last competition is make a gingerbread house and Keller makes a replica of the auto shop and he wants to make it a breakfast place and Bakeshop for them to run together and she says yes such a cute story.

Quotes:

Sweet Pillsbury Doughboy, this is my idea of porn. Keller James sitting before me, praising my baking. If my bakery plan falls apart I know what my next venture will be. Bakery porn. It’ll be nothing but attractive men eating my cookies. The camera will zoom in as their tongues flicker over their lips, sweeping up every last morsel. They’ll probably be shirtless too. I bet I can get subscribers to pay at least four ninety-nine a month for such a service.

I might have zoned out a little with my bakery porn scheme. Fine, I might also have been imagining him shirtless

I wasn’t flirting. You were flirting.” There. That’ll show him. That I’m twelve. Way to spar, Ginger. “Oh, I was definitely flirting,”


Oh, for elf’s sake. Did I really just say “single and ready to mingle?”

I’m having a lovely time. Thank you for inviting me, Ginger.” “I didn’t invite you,” I remind him. “You invited yourself.” “Oh, Gingersnap, you little flirt


Just because my dreams are smaller in nature doesn’t make them any less important or valid.


I’m fairly certain that the only thing I’d enjoy more than bantering with you is kissing you.”

Book Review: The boss who stole christmas Jana Aston

The Boss Who Stole Christmas (Reindeer Falls, #1)

The Boss Who Stole Christmas by Jana Aston

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Dec 21-24

Dear Santa,

Please bring me a new boss for Christmas. Mine is the worst. The worst, hidden in a six foot tall package of male perfection. It’d be easier if he looked like an old Scrooge, wouldn’t it?

Nick Saint-Croix doesn’t look like an old scrooge. He’s hot as-

Um, never mind. Just bring me a new boss. Please.

Sincerely,
Holly Winter


Review : This book was so cute I love this Christmas romance. Holly has to go to Germany with her jerky boss who is also hot for a business trip. When they get to Germany things start to get hot for Nick and Holly and Nick kisses Holly hes liked her since he met her and then they have sex twice .But then Holly starts to act weird and says that sleeping with Nick will never happen again. Holly finally realizes how she feels and tells Nick and she makes him a sexy advent calendar. Such a fun book

Quotes :I work at Flying Reindeer Toy Company. Which means my scrooge of a boss runs a toy company. Actual toys, not sex toys.


my name is Holly Winter. And I might as well just tell you now… I have two sisters named Ginger and Noel.

I get paid to work on projects involving cafés and teddy bears.


Kissing Nick is like finding out that Santa is coming twice this year.


Why did you do that? Why did you kiss me?

“Because I wanted to.” Not even a flinch. His voice is smooth

How long have you wanted to kiss me?” I ask, my voice barely audible. Wondering if this interest of his is going to disappear as fast as it’s appeared. “Since the first day.


It’s not a scowl when it’s directed at you. It’s pent-up sexual frustration,” he murmurs into my ear.


Did you just procure a condom from an Advent calendar?”

Miss Winter, did you buy me a dirty Advent calendar?”

Noelle’s voice has captivated Alex, and she’s become his greatest obsession. Since he hired her to read audiobooks, listening to her is the only thing that makes his lonely world bearable. Thank God she’s never seen him. His scars would only scare her away.

Alex has starred in every fantasy Noelle’s had since she first heard his voice over the phone, and reading erotica samples to him only fuels her desire. Listening to him on the other end of the phone is the best part of her day, and she’s willing to do anything to please him.

On Christmas Eve a storm comes through, sending Noelle in search of her reclusive boss. Once she’s at his cabin with no place to go, there’s only one way to keep warm.



Review : This was a cute and sexy story Noelle is a audiobook narrator and she works for alex who she has a thing for but she’s never met him and on a storm one night she can’t get the file to send so she goes to his house . Alex has a thing for Noelle but he won’t ever act on it cause when he lived in New York there was a accident so he has some scaring on his face . So Noelle gets to his house and it’s awkward until they have to sleep in the same bed when the power goes out they end up having sex the next morning it was a cute Christmas story .

Quotes :
“I’ll make you so fucking happy, Noelle. I know you’re perfect for me. I’ve listened to you talk for hours on end. You’re it for me. I know it to my core, and I’ll spend every day showing you that I’m it for you. That we belong together.

After all the romance novels I’ve read, I seem to have found my own sweet, brooding, scared hero. I want to keep him, and I want him to want to keep me, too.”

So grab a mug of hot cocoa, snuggle up, and get ready to fall in love…


Review :first story 5/5
Second story 4/5
Third 3/5
Fourth 5/5

Such a cute collection my favorites were the first and last story the third was my least favorite. The first story was so cute it kinda involved a roadtrip and secret santa . The second study was about this girl who got thos job as a elf and she liked this guy but he turned out to be a dick and she ended up liking the guy she worked with it was cute . The third story was just not good it’s about this couple in high school and the ended up selling there most expensive items to get each other Christmas gifts. The last story was a female female romance and it was so cute so these two girls who are going on vacation with each other who havent seen each other in years so they do kinda a treasure hunt it was adorable.

Merry and Bright by Debbie Macomber

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Merry Knight is pretty busy these days. She’s taking care of her family, baking cookies, decorating for the holidays, and hoping to stay out of the crosshairs of her stressed and by-the-book boss at the consulting firm where she temps. Her own social life is the last thing she has in mind, much less a man. Without her knowledge, Merry’s well-meaning mom and brother create an online dating profile for her—minus her photo—and the matches start rolling in. Initially, Merry is incredulous, but she reluctantly decides to give it a whirl.

Soon Merry finds herself chatting with a charming stranger, a man with similar interests and an unmistakably kind soul. Their online exchanges become the brightest part of her day.

Have you ever noticed?, He asked suppressing a smile , how the reflection shows in the smooth surface of the elevator door ?

What an odd question.
Not really.
His mouth quirked again .
What makes you ask ? As soon as she phrased the question ,Merry knew the answer.
If you’re going to make faces at me behind my back, Mary , you might want to make certain that your reflection doesn’t show on the doors.


I kissed her.”
His words were met with silence and then, “How was it?”
“On a scale of one to ten, it was about a hundred.

Dashing Through the SnowDashing Through the Snow by Debbie Macomber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dec 24-28

Ashley Davison, a graduate student in California, desperately wants to spend the holidays with her family in Seattle. Dashiell Sutherland, a former army intelligence officer, has a job interview in Seattle and must arrive by December 23. Though frantic to book a last-minute flight out of San Francisco, both are out of luck: Every flight is full, and there’s only one rental car available. Ashley and Dash reluctantly decide to share the car, but neither anticipates the wild ride ahead.

At first they drive in silence, but forced into close quarters Ashley and Dash can’t help but open up. Not only do they find they have a lot in common, but there’s even a spark of romance in the air. Their feelings catch them off guard—never before has either been so excited about a first meeting. But the two are in for more twists and turns along the way as they rescue a lost puppy, run into petty thieves, and even get caught up in a case of mistaken identity. Though Ashley and Dash may never reach Seattle in time for Christmas, the season is still full of surprises—and their greatest wishes may yet come true.

They stop at a hotel and they end kissing and then the FBI finds then cause they think she is some kind of criminal which she isn’t and she is finally released and her and dash go to her mom’s which was cute I really liked this book .

Book Review: Twelve days of Christmas Debbie Macomber

Twelve Days of ChristmasTwelve Days of Christmas by Debbie Macomber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

December 18-23

In a festive annual tradition, #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber returns with another original holiday novel full of romance and cheer. This time around, a plucky young woman clashes with a real-life Scrooge—her grouchy, arrogant, annoyingly handsome neighbor—and tries to get even the only way she knows how: by killing him with kindness.

Review : this book was a perfect Christmas read for me this book is about Julia and her grumpy neighbor to get this job Julia needs to write a popular blog so her best friend suggests that she kill him with kindness so up until Christmas she kills him with kindness until they start to get along and more than she though she actually likes the guy but then he finds out the blog and is hurt and mad and won’t talk to her . she ends up inviting his grandfather over for Christmas dinner and he ends up having to go to the hospital so Julia comes along and they make up this book just is a perfect Christmas read.

quotes :

Kill him with kindness

He rarely allowed anyone to get close, and for good reason. It seemed every time he did, he regretted it.

“He took your newspaper; he didn’t threaten to bury you in concrete.”

Cain Maddox, you have a sense of humor.

Merry Christmas, Cain.” He held her gaze and then muttered, “Bah humbug.

Think you’re wrong about that,” Bernie said with a thoughtful look. “He’s attracted to you, but knowing my grandson, he’s fighting it tooth and nail

That boy hasn’t got a romantic bone in his body. He probably thought he was giving you a compliment.”

If he didn’t kiss her soon, she was going to reach for his lapels and jerk him close and do it herself. Just when she was about to stand on the tips of her toes and kiss him, Cain leaned down and captured her mouth. His kiss was exactly how she’d imagined. Her entire body swayed toward him and he wrapped his arms around her in a hold that half lifted her from the ground. Julia’s arms slipped around his neck as she gave herself over to him. The kiss was intense and deep: a mingling of passion, need, want, desire, and longing. It went on for what seemed like several moments. When they broke apart, they both swayed as if their entire world had made a shift…and for Julia it had. This was above and beyond anything she could ever have predicted. Cain pressed his forehead against hers. “I knew you’d taste like heaven.” His words felt like warm honey. “You’re going to be addictive, aren’t you?” he murmured. “I…I don’t know…maybe…I’d like it if I were.” With everything in her, she hoped what he said was true. “One taste will never be enough.” She grazed her lips over his in a near kiss, enjoying the freedom to tease him. His arms remained around her. Her own were tucked about his waist. “You still going to buy me coffee in the morning?” “My word is good.” “Mine, too.” 

Congratulations, sweetheart.” Sweetheart? She froze, her breath trapped in her lungs. “Did you just call me sweetheart?” “Did I?

You get a puppy but want to wait on a baby?” Bernie shook his head. “You sure you know what you’re doing, boy?”
